A Few Good Books

It would seem that dancing feet and a book list have very little in common, but beginning tomorrow, March 13th and running through March 18th, if you buy anything in a Barnes and Noble store or cafe, or online and give them the code #10141984, you can support our Irish dance school - An Daire Academy of Irish Dance - Boise.

I've only just begun to learn Irish dance and I have to tell you, it looks easier than it is! It is a thrilling style of dance and I love the history that goes along with it. It is also something I get to share with my daughter and grandchildren. I'm a bit slower to learn it and I'll never perform, but that is okay. Learning a new jig or reel makes my brain explode with new pathways.

So I'm posting a smal list of some of my favorite self-help/find your creativity books, beginning with "The Creative Entrepreneur" by Lisa Sonora Beam. This is a treasure trove of questions and exercises for anyone who wants to be more creative.The books on my side bar are also some of my favorite memoirs and always a good read. If I'm not sewing, I'm reading or dancing or cooking and seasonally I'm gardening.

"A Weekend to Change Your Life" by Joan Anderson"Digging Deep" by Fran Sorin"What's Next" by Rena Pederson"A Trip to the Beach" by Melinda and Robert Blanchard"Life is a Verb" by Patti Digh"The Artist's Way" "The Vein of Gold" "Finding Water" by Julia Cameron"The New Creative Arist" by Nita Leland"The Power of Intention" by Dr. Wayne Dyer"What's Really Holding You Back?" by Valorie Burton"Loving What Is" by Byron Katie"Ask and It Shall Be Given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks"Winning Every Day" by Lou Holtz"Thank You Power" by Deborah Norville"On Becoming an Artist" by Ellen J. Langer"How to Think like Leanardo da Vinci" by Micheal J. Gelb

About Me

Obsessed with color and stitching, preferrably by hand and creating with whatever is available. A good day is when I can sew a few stitches, dig in the dirt, cook something up to share with my friends or family, play with my dogs, go for a walk with my honey, and read a few pages before the book knocks me out for the night.
